TARDIS Newsroom

July 2012

For the last couple of years (since Matt Smith became the Doctor) BBC America has run specials that lead up to the new episodes.

Well, now for the new season the specials are coming out. Starting Aug 4 we get the first special - "The Science of Doctor Who" which airs at 9:00 PM (EDT).

The following week BBC America airs the new special "The Women of Doctor Who" (airing Aug, 11 at 9:00 PM (EDT))

As of now they have not listed any other specials on their schedule but I wouldn't be surprised if there was at least one more.

But we know what comes after they run the new specials - new "Doctor Who". So start looking for them to air soon - however BBC and BBC America has not placed the show on the schedule yet but in both instances the schedule only goes up to two to three weeks.

EDIT:

Since I've posted this I've discovered that there are more specials coming up.

Hi would like to welcome one and all to the Long Island Dr Who VIewing society. We are interested in watching any Classic WHo or related cult programs. So far three members and we had our first meeting at Tackapausha museum on Thursday the 26th viewing the Daemons DVD. There's plenty of seats in the theater with a big movie screen and we meet after the museum closes. Founding members are Brian Phil and Dennis (who runs the museum). Tackapausha is located at Washington avenue between Merrick Rd andSunrise Hwy in Seaford. Look forward to seeing you there!!!

I am sadden to report that once again we have lost someone in the Doctor Who community. A month after the news of Caroline John (Liz Shaw) passing, we have lost another actress that played a companion on Doctor Who, Mary Tamm. You will remember her for her role as the original Romana in the Tom Baker era. She introduced us to the Time Lady companion, Romana in 'The Key to Time' series of 1978 to 1979.

The Mirror reports that she lost her long battle against cancer this morning. She was only 62 years old.
